Preschool Weekly Update-week of 9/11

“Play is fundamentally important for learning 21st century skills, such as problem solving, collaboration and creativity.” – American Academy of Pediatrics

Hello preschool parents,

We had a fun week learning about our bones, x-rays and our bodies. Our forrest friend, Rabbit, was introduced and is helping us lean about kindness. This week we will explore our five senses, sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch.

On Friday our blue, green and yellow play groups were formed. Having an assigned play group for part of the day helps children develop peer relations. This also supports problem solving, collaboration and creativity. These groups will change throughout the year.

Picture day is Tuesday, September 12. Please dress you child in his/her white shirt, blue sweater or school sweatshirt.

There is no school on Friday, September 15th.

Have a lovely Sunday.

Blessings, Ms. Grace

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."
— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022
"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"
— SPN Parent
"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
— SPN Parent since 2016
